REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE’S LIBERATION FRONT

Statement: 471 | Date: 20.9.2018

WE WAGE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE DRUGS, GAMBLING AND PROSTITUTION
DRUGS, PROSTITUTION, GAMBLING AND THE STATE ARE KILLING US

The social order is the order of prostitution, gambling and the drugs,
We will bury this social order together with all of it’s filth in the garbage dump of history,
We will demand reckoning for the killed revolutionaries!

From Devrim to the killers:
“Enemies… I will not surrender to you!”

From Devrim to the people:
“I love my people, my fatherland. Give everyone my regards.”

The people of Turkey!

In one of the slums of Istanbul’s Küçükarmutlu, a 25-yearold militant of the Front fall a martyr while fighting against the assassins who besieged the house he was staying in. His name is İbrahim Devrim Top. He gave his last breath saying: “I love my people, my fatherland.”

We continue to give martyrs for the independence of our country, for the freedom of our people.

Why did AKP fascism’s killers kill Devrim? Why did they target him?

We announced to the whole world: we unfurled a flag against the decadence. We wage struggle against gambling, prostitution, drugs. Wherever we are organised we work hard to stop gambling, prostitution and the drugs. We fight the mafia gangs on one hand, and on the other hand we pull out our bogged down youth.

To drug, to apoliticise, to degnerate our people and especially our youth, is the central policy of the imperialism and fascism. The more drugs, prostitution and gambling spread, the more the system would feel glad about it. That’s why the Front’s struggle against the drugs, is the struggle which spoils the fascist policies.

Every member of the Front, wherever he is at, represents the flag, the vanguard of the struggle against the decadence, gambling, prostitution and drugs.

One of the tens reasons why the imperialism and the fascism attacks the Front is this one.

Behind the drugs and the mafia, there is AKP. Against them, there are sons of the people.

Devrim’s crime is not to give the drug dealers a chance to take their breath. His crime was not to reckonise drug dealers’ the right to live in our neighbourhoods. His crime was to organise the popular resistance against the pillage and destruction of the urban transformation.

Do not look at the news published in the newspapers that say “dug teams in front of the schools” as soon as the schools open. The deepening of the decadence, the generalisation of the drug addiction is the policy of AKP. During the government of AKP the drug abuse has increased 1883 times. The big boys of the drug deals, in front of schools or any other place are all under AKP’s protection. No other government before AKP didn’t have such an open collaboration with mafia. In order to use them in the war against the people and the revolutionaries, AKP’s political power released 21 mafia bosses in one evening.

This mafia bosses, the likes of Peker and Çakıcı, lean their backs against AKP and in the name of fascism threaten the people and the revolutionaries saying “we will kill”, “we will make bloodbath”, while on the other side they continue with drugs, prostitution, gambling, extortion, tender and usurpaion business.

The fascism wants to seize the control of Küçükarmutlu and poor neighbourhoods via state terrorism and decadence.

The fascism killed Dilek Doğan in Küçükarmutlu. It killed Yılmaz Öztürk. Two months ago on July 19th , the Armutlu cemvi, People’s Engineers and Architects’ office, House of Loyalty “Sevgi Erdoğan” were raided by the police. The fascist police urinated on the wall of cemevi! The president of the cemevi Zeynep Yıldırım was arrested. And once again Küçükarmutlu was painted in blood. Once more Küçükarmutlu held a funeral ceremony for a revolutionary, where we raised our red flags: members of Dev-Genç then took over the flag from Devrim. They shouted the demand for reckoning facing the police armoured vehicles.

What we shall say to the killers is this: even if you convert the streets of Küçükarmutlu in the ocean of blood, even if you send a mafia gang to it’s every street and beseige it with drugs, prostitution and gambling, even then the neighbourhood is till ours. The neighbourhoods of poor people are the neighbourhoods of revolution, and that way they will remain.

Because in those neighbourhoods the hunger, poverty and contempt lurks together with the fascist terror. In those neighbourhoods live those that cannot have their children educated, those that cannot get their illness treated, those that work their whole life without making the both ends meet.As long as there is injustice and destitution, those neighbourhoods will continue being the neighbourhoods of revolution.

Our Tradition is the Law Constitution of the People’s War: Devrim Fell A Martyr Carrying On Those Traditions.

“Enemies… I will not surrender”, he shouted to the assassins outside. The tradition of no surrender that was started by Mahir in Maltepe and Kızıldere, by Sabo in the events of April 16th and 17th, the tradition of no surrender carried on by Sıla Abalay and Bilgehan Karpat to this day has been continued by Devrim Top.

In an instant of the skrimish he was wounded. In that moment he thought of the owner of the house: “Go away from here brother, take good care of yourself, withdraw” he said and bid his farewell, It was his farewell from his people.

While the house owner was leaving, he finished his last words: “Brother, I love you, our people and our fatherland. Give my regards to everyone”, and he continued fighting.

He thought of protecting the people in the house before thinking of his own life just like Mahir and Cevahir, like İbrahim Yalçın Arkanlar, líke Sibel Yalçın…

These traditions are the unwritten rules of every member of the Front. These traditions are did not appear by the way of orders, but by the way of Front members’ love for the people and the fatherland, by the way of ideological clarity.

İBRAHİM DEVRİM TOP: FEARLESS, UNCOMPROMISING MILITANT OF THE FRONT

Just 25 year old Devrim is from Çorum. In 25 years he was arrested over and over again, he was a revolutionary who experienced torture and imprisonment.

A big part of his dreams and plans were related to what he will do when an uprising comes. For him, revolution was not as much of a far away dream for him: it was a reality which he felt right next to him as if it would happen spontaneously any moment-
Devrim was born on June 7th, 1993 in Çorum as a child of a Turkish Alevi family. He abandoned Çorum’s Eti highschool at the last grade.

Devrim Top was arrested for the first time on September 19th 2011 while he was a student of Çorum’s Eti highschool when he resisted police during the protest action against the compulsory religion lessons.

His uncle Selhan Top was a guerrilla. He fell a martyr on October 20th 2003 in a clash with the gendarmes in Çorum. That’s when the anti-fascist struggle entered the heart and the mind of Devrim: “I first thought of revolution when I was still a child, when my uncle was martyred. I wanted to become a revolutionary and demand reckoning for my uncle.” That’s the dilemma of fascism.

In 2009 he decided to become a revolutionary. Since that day he was within the struggle as a Dev-Genç member. He took place in the organizing Liseli Dev-Genç (highschool revolutionary youth) in Çorum, Ankara and Istanbul. He participated in the militia activities. He spent certain period of his struggle being searched for. He never stood back in any fight.

He experienced imprisonment. In the imprisonment he did not surrender. He is self-educated. He read, he prepared himself physically for the war on isolation cell’s airconditioning. His rage against the enemy was great. Upon being able to disciplne this rage, he would be able to do a lot more in the struggle against the fascism then he did until this day. If one does not act with an ideologic and political programme, such rage does not convert into a force which kicks enemy into the guts. That’s also what all our comrades will learn from Devrim.

Devrim was finally released on February 2nd 2018. It was a time when the police set an ambush in front of the prison and once again arrested the ones that were set free. He continued the struggle since he was released until September 13th 2018 when he was killed by the running dogs of AKP’s fascism.

In his biography Devrim used the following words to explain what the movement meant for him: “The movement is the only force that will change the world. And we are obliged to change the world. This exploitation and the system of oppression cannot go on like this.”

Our promise to all Devrims: WE WILL CHANGE THIS UNJUST WORLD.
WE WILL END THIS EXPLOITATION AND THE SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION.

The AKP government will be brought to account for all it’s massacres.

Devrims die, Revolutions continue! The victory is Devrims.

This decadence, this povery, those massacres are the cause of our revolution.

TURKISH REVOLUTION WILL REACH IT’S AIMS WITH DEVRIMS!

GUERILLA WAR NEAR BLACKSEA

In the shantytowns, in the prisons, in the mountains.
Everywhere there is resistance and war! The resistance and war will continue everywhere!

Revolutionary People’s Liberation Front

Date: March 26, 2002 Statement: 248

On March 20, in Ordu Province’s Unye district, near Yesilkent, a gendarmerie special team was involved in a clash with one of our guerrilla units connected to the Black Sea Area Command, and three of our guerrillas were martyred. Three of our vanguard in the People’s Liberation War in the mountains, Gokce Sahin, Sengul Gulsoy and Turan Sahin, gave their lives with honour, courage and pride in the mountains under the banner of independence, democracy and socialism. In every facet of this country, a war front exists.

In every aspect of this country there is tyranny and exploitation.

Since tyranny and exploitation are one and the same throughout our country, every area of it is a theatre of war for us. There are revolutionary forces, not just in the prisons, not just in the shantytowns, not just in the factories, and not just in the mountains; they are everywhere where the people are. As in other areas, up to the present hundreds of our fighters have been murdered by the oligarchy. They were murdered in the cities, in the mountains and in the prisons, and every time they (the enemy) uttered cries of victory and said, from now on they’re finished, there is no point in them going on But after they said that, here and there new resistan ce broke out, a barricade was formed, a bullet was fired, and this showed everyone the reality of war and revolutionary struggle in this country. While this tyranny and oppression goes on the revolutionary struggle does not end. While there are the people in our country’s mountains and cities, the guerrillas will also not cease to exist.

Who were they in these mountains?

Anarchists? Terrorists? You will learn that there are many ways to answer this question on everybody’s lips. There were not in the mountains for adventure or because they were fascinated by guns, as has been said. They fought in the mountains and are the people. They were the poor and oppressed people of this country. They were fighting to organise the masses of the people in the rural areas, to overthrow the power of the oligarchy and found in its place people’s ower, struggling to establish military forces in these mountains. Those who carry guns as they move through the mountains were perhaps until yesterday your next-door neighbour, your work colleague or one of your friends at school. Here are our fighters who were martyred in Ordu:

Turan, first knew the guerrillas at the age of 11. At 13 he wanted to join the guerrillas. The commander Comert Ozen did not accept his request on account of his age. His family sent him to Istanbul to stop him from becoming a guerrilla. But he did not give up his wish. At the age of 17 he became a People’s Liberation Fighter, wearing the red beret with the star. Sengul was the daughter of an impoverished rural family. Poverty did not allow her to continue her education beyond primary school. They emigrated from the countryside to the city. In the city she experienced exploitation and she returned to the village and the mountains, but this time she was politically conscious and a fighter with a weapon in her hand.

Those who do not know the hunger, those who do not know the poverty and the oppression which emerges from every part of our villages and shantytowns cannot understand how a poor village girl or a labourer from a shantytown might want to be a guerrilla.

They cannot understand how our people who are fortunate enough to receive higher education might want to become People’s Liberation Fighters rather than doctors or engineers. Nor can they understand how children like Turan might wish to become guerrillas. And the same people cannot understand why hundreds of prisoners in the cells would lie down and die. This arises from a great passion for freedom. This arises from great love for the people and the homeland.

Those who keep their distance cannot comprehend the love and the anger of those who fight in the mountains and resist in the isolation cells. Emerging from this resistance and war is limitless love and limitless anger. It is the love for the people of every fighter and every revolutionary, it is the anger of everyone against those who exploit and oppress the people. It is this belief and faith in the cause that builds a barricade against every kind of deviation.

The hope of revolution, the claims of the revolution, the march towards revolution continue. The plans of the imperialists and the oligarchy to destroy and bring about surrender are coming to nothing. The Front means resistance, the Front means war; wherever there are supporters of the Front, nobody can destroy the hope of liberation!

The governor of Ordu, Kemal Yazicioglu, said after murdering our three martyrs in Ordu that Wherever I am, there can be no place that terrorism can find shelter All those who come into our area will meet the sam e fate.

Who is Kemal Yazicioglu? In the September 12 period (the 1980 military coup and after in Turkey) he was one of the most notorious torturers at the Ankara DAL house of torture. He is one of Susurluk’s people. He has been responsible for countless acts of torture and has personally ordered many to tortured to death and has been witnessed to have done so in hundreds of cases. But he has never been prosecuted or punished. Instead he was made a GOVERNOR. He was rewarded. He is like all those involved in Susurluk. Kemal Yazicioglu, like Hasan Ozdemir and suchlike, knows nothing other than killing, torture and annihilation. He knows how to kill and afterwards profit from it. He is one of those who server the IMF for money. People like him have passed through all districts by the hundred. They have murdered many, tortured many. But they have not destroyed the people’s struggle against oppression and tyranny. And they will not be able to destroy it. The revolutionary vanguard of the people will not permit it. The IMF’s hand stretches from Washington to the villagers of Ordu, Hakkari, Tekirdag, Manisa, Konya, Urfa and Hatay, strangling them and oppressing them. Agriculture is being killed. Villagers are being killed. We have passed through years of death squads and networks of village guards forcing people to become refugees, putting IMF decrees into effect by force. But it is not possible for the IMF to stretch its hand to the revolutionaries of this country. In the shantytowns of our great cities and in our tiniest villages, we will organise the fight of our people against the imperialists and their collaborators, with recourse to the struggle in all its forms.

OUR MARTYRS:
Gokce SAHIN: Commander of the unit. He joined the Black Sea Unit in July 1998. He was born in Ankara on December 23, 1976. In 1994 he joined the Dev-Genc (Revolutionary Youth) organisation while studying in the chemical engineering department in Hacettepe University. He took on various responsibilities in the struggle and organising youth. He was expelled from university for taking his place in the academic-democratic struggle. In 1995 he was imprisoned. The day he was put in prison the Buca massacre took place. When he was released he resumed his duties. The oligarchy’s repression, violence and his ties to the system on some days stoked up his anger but on other days created hesitation. When it was necessary to go to a different sphere of work, there was on the one hand his family, on the other: there was the struggle, his comrades, the Free Prisoners and the martyrs. And he hesitated.

Either revolution or the system would win. Later on he evaluated this moment of hesitation: I knew the state of human beings who are abandoned. I had seen how disgusting it is in the hole made by the system No, I said, to myself. Definitely I want to be able to look Birtan, Berdan, Sinan and Niyazi in the face I will not abandon this struggle until I have overcome all my weaknesses. I also hate the Gokce who shows closeness to the system. He overcame his hesitation. He took the gun as a People’s Liberation Fighter without hesitation. The system sometimes practises tyranny and sometimes revolutionaries act against themselves, sometimes through family ties or through their own feelings. Those who don’t let the system defeat them are revolutionary fighters and like Gokce they wave the flag of revolution in the fight.

Sengul GULSOY: Joined a guerrilla unit in 1998. She was born on October 10, 1979 in the village of Imranli Baslica (Arikan) in Sivas Province. Gulsoy was a member of an impoverished and landless Kurdish family. They moved to Istanbul in 1987. Sengul was only able to attend primary school. In Istanbul she worked in a number of sweatshops making clothing. In these places, whoever sought their rights or encouraged their colleagues to join a trade union was dismissed. She became acquainted with revolutionaries. In 1995 she joined the Front’s cortege on May Day and supported the Front from that time on. She joined in every kind of action in support of rights and freedom on Istanbul’s Anatolian side, from protests over Susurluk to actions in support of the Death Fast. She was detained several times. She was less than 18 the first time she was detained. But this did not matter to the torturers; they used every type of torture method, from hanging her by the arms to using electricity. But she resisted, became more conscious and was tempered like steel. She took on responsibility for organising in her locality. But for th e sake of a free homeland, she wanted to be a fighter: I want to be a fighter in the city like Sibel, I want to be like Ali Riza Kurt and resist like Sabahat and people like her, she said. I am dying for the movement, she said modestly. Because I do not want my people to be oppressed I want equality and a free country. I want the guilty to be punished. Only the DHKP-C can do this and for this reason it is a movement worth dying for. If I die with this purpose in mind, I will not look back in regret, the fight will go on, weapon in hand, until our power is established; these were some of the things she said in her report.

She was a village girl whose confidence and belief will not be in vain, she was a resister in the shantytowns and a heroine of the mountains.

Turan SAHIN: A People’s Liberation Fighter since October 1997. He was born in the Tokat Province town of Almus on October 10, 1980.

He came from an Ethnic Turkish and Alevi family. Reality for him from a young age was poverty and repression on a daily basis. He knew the guerrillas and loved revolution. After his application to join the guerrillas was not accepted, his family sent him to Istanbul. He worked as a labourer for four years in Istanbul. He saw and experienced everything in Istanbul but his desire to be a guerrilla only increased, because he became more conscious and witnessed exploitation, tyranny and poverty as being exactly the same, whether in the big cities or the smallest villages. Moreover, inequality was more pronounced and obvious. In Istanbul he formed links with the revolutionary movement. In the meantime his body and mind developed and he educated himself. His reason for being a revolutionary and a guerrilla became very developed: this is what he wrote to the Front: We have been exploited for years, there is repression in the villages, people gather food from rubbish dumps, and to find a solution to all that it is necessary to wage a struggle He joined the guerrillas in October 1997. On March 20, 2002 he became immortal as a People’s Liberation Fighter, upholding the duties of revolutionism and patriotism for his people and homeland.

There is no score we have with the system of exploitation and tyranny that will not be settled!

We will carry the banner of liberation our comrades have handed to us until victory!

THE SUSURLUK STATE CONTINUES ITS ACTIVITIES THREE REVOLUTIONARIES WERE MURDERED IN ADANA

REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE’S LIBERATION FRONT

Statement № 60, February 4, 1998

On January 28, 1998, at 8.45 p.m., the police murdered, without any warning, three revolutionaries in the neighbourhood of Kiremithane, Adana, in front of the eyes of the people and the relatives of Mehmet Topaloglu. The police had surrounded the whole neighbourhood before. Three relatives of Mehmet Topaloglu were locked up in a room on the lower floor of the house the massacre took place in. Then the police used a trick to get access to the top floor of the house and murdered those who were present: Mehmet Topaloglu, Besat Ayyildiz and Buelent Dil. An investigation after the events showed the police started shooting without warning and that there had been no fire-fight. The police had the door opened in one way or the other and then they opened fire upon everybody who was in the house.

Why we punished Sabanci?

ATTACK AGAINST THE CENTRE OF THE SABANCI HOLDING COMPANY

THIS COUNTRY IS OURS

THIS IS OUR PEOPLE

Blood has been smeared in our mountains, on our peaks, in our shanty towns and in the most remote corners of our country. This blood is the blood of our young girls, our sons, it is the blood of our people of all ages. The towns, neighbourhoods and villages have become open prisons… Torture centres have been set up everywhere. Hundreds of people have been executed, in the eyes of the whole world, without any form of justice or court. They even rejected their own laws. They planned and executed these massacres, from Sirnak to Istanbul. Our people were burnt alive. Thousands of villages have been bombed, evacuated by force, and people were forced to seek refuge.

Thousands of people were taken in custody or arrested, they were tortured and crippled for live. Tens of thousands of people have been charged with the most severe charges, there is no room left in the prisons. Cruelty, injustice and brutality have risen and are omnipresent. Poverty has become so great that the majority of the people can no longer afford bread.

Everything has been left to the imperialists, economically as well as politically. Investments, workers wages, production prices are all agreed upon by the imperialists. How are we going to educate our children and our young, what kind of culture are they going to have, when every decision is made by the imperialists. The media propaganda has been used to promote the exploitation by imperialism, poverty, imperialistic education and the cultural politics of imperialism. By doing so, they have managed to wreck the values and the friendship of the people. Our young girls and women have been led to prostitution because of this system.

The imperialists have sold of our political and cultural values. They have destroyed everything.

Because of a few exploiting classes, no one has the right to openly express their values, their rights, their own literature. Therefore no one can stand up and fight for his or her rights, or join an organisation. The parliament is packed with corrupt politicians and exploiters who enrich the government and imperialism. The president, the prime minister and the ministers, they all obey the imperialist system and help the exploitation. The have destroyed all the national values. Shamelessly they vowed to keep their promises to America.

Our soil has been watered by the tears form the mothers of the children who have been murdered. Thousands of people have been massacred and more than 300 people were kidnapped and are missing. And when this was not enough, they attacked our prisoners and murdered them.

Everything is dark, and blood is everywhere. That’s the picture which was painted. There is only one light ahead, and that’s the light of the people’s liberation fight for freedom. This is the picture in Turkey.

This dark picture is created by the hand of the exploiting people who work within imperialism and exploit the country and the people. They are the ones who make governments, who break governments. The are the ones who bring in the military junta, who preach democracy and who massacre the people. They are the SABANCI’s.

The Sabanci’s run the country politically and economically. They decide what kind of education and culture the country should have. All the bourgeois parties who form the government, who bring in capital, are attached to the Sabanci’s. People like the Sabanci’s have managed to promote imperialism and they rule the country.

We hold the Sabanci’s, the Koc’s, and the TUSIAD (the Association of Turkish Business) responsible for the exploitation and the rise of fascism in our country.

THE CABINET THAT DID NOT MEET, MEETS NOW

The people who run the country were hit. Not one word was said by the cabinet when we produced the documents about starvation, poverty, and the bloody massacre of thousands of people. But now they are all worked up. The cabinet also didn’t have one single meeting when the country was hit by earthquakes and rain floods which forced people to flee their homes, but when Sabanci was punished they held a meeting and spoke about grief. People who do not have any relationship with the nation are the nation’s enemy and therefore it is impossible for them to work with the people. They are the ones who massacre and exploit the people. But now one of the biggest exploiters and leading men has been punished for the crimes he committed. His partners in crime are the ones who are mourning his death. But they don’t worry about anybody. These traitors and enemies of the people only want to exploit the people even more. The security system was contracted to the Americans. But this did not protect them from the people’s justice. They weren’t upset about Sabanci’s death, they were seeing themselves in the same situation and they were seeing their own crimes.

The worried should think about the people who are unable to bury their dead, or when they bury their dead, they are dragged across the soil, taken into custody. These are the things they should think about. They should also think about the tears of the families when they were not allowed to bury their dead, when it was said “Do not give them their corps”. They should think about the journalist who was killed, Metin Goktepe, who was there to cover the funeral. After Sabaci, they should think again.

WE WARNED THEM MANY TIMES

We have warned all the collaborationist capitalist classes about the massacres, the torture, the kidnappings, the disappearances, the refugees. We warned them not to support the government and the political parties in government who were blamed for all the things which happened. We warned them not to support a government which is an enemy of the people.

But instead we have seen more oppression, more massacres and more missing people.

Forget this myth about “We are the state, we can cut and we can hang”. The people do not believe this myth anymore. Throughout the history of mankind, no crime has been left unpunished. No society has kept on living in injustice and without pride. The rightful will win ultimately.

We warn the monopolies and the imperialists who want to continue to exploit the people by creating a new government, and the warning includes the parties and MP’s: Do not believe that we can’t get to you. Do not support their parties and become their partners in crime. For Sabanci was not save in his American Skyscraper and his armed body guards. The greatest strength in the world is the strength of the country and its people, willing to give up their lives. No strength can ever beat the people’s strength.

You can either join the likes of Sabanci, the TUSIAD and the imperialist to fight against the people, or you can join the people’s struggle for liberation from imperialism and fascism.

WE WARN YOU ONCE MORE, AND WE ASK THE PRESIDENT, THE PRIME MINISTER, THE PARTIES, AND THE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT: WHERE ARE THE MURDERERS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE?

The murderers who killed thousands of unarmed people were rewarded in front of everybody and they were made MP’s.

More than 300 people have been kidnapped, disappeared and were murdered.

THE MURDERERS, THE KIDNAPPERS, SHOULD BE TRIED BY INDEPENDENT COURTS.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been tortured and are still faced with torture. The prisoners are packed with revolutionaries who are being attacked and murdered.

FREE THE PRISONERS, EMPTY THE PRISONS!

3.000 of our villages have been evacuated by force. Nearly 3 million people were forced to flee. The Kurdish people who live in this country are refused their identity and they are faced with ethnic cleansing politics.

TAKE YOUR BLOODY HANDS OF KURDISTAN!

Our country is robbed of its sovereignty by imperialism. The bourgeois has taken all forms of democracy and replaced it with a fascist sovereignty. Prisons are centres of torture.

The government, the parties, the people who work for the government and the MP’s are all to blame for this.

We do not want to punish anyone with death. We do not prefer the armed struggle. But we do not have any choice, there is no other way in our country to have our rights. Fascism is dominant everywhere. The imperialists have taken away our freedom. The government is shaped by a few exploiters. These few are the Sabanci’s and the Koc’s. To end this, there is no other option but to take up the gun. Today the army and the police control the government, they open fire upon the people and bomb them, so we have no choice but to fight back.

PEOPLE’S JUSTICE

On January 9, 10.30 a.m., the Sabanci Centre was raided by our AHMET FAZIL ÖZDEMIR ARMED PROPAGANDA UNIT. Özdemir Sabanci, member of the Sabanci Holding management, Haluc Gurgon, another important person in the company and manager of Toyota-Sa, and Nilgun Hasefe, secretary of Sakip Sabanci, were punished. Our fighters did not hurt or harm anybody else and they returned to their base.

WE ARE CALLING UPON ALL WHO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY, WHO OPPOSE IMPERIALISM, ALL WHO WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WITHOUT TORTURE, WITHOUT MASSACRES, WITHOUT EXPLOITATION, WITHOUT REFUGEES, ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE FASCISM. WE CALL UPON YOU TO JOIN OUR STRUGGLE!

A FREE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE’S DEMOCRACY, A PLACE WITHOUT OPPRESSION; THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF YOU FIGHT FASCISM AND IMPERIALISM!

WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE AND ASK FOR JUSTICE FOR THE MURDERED, THE MISSING AND THE KIDNAPPED!

WE SALUTE THE PRISONERS WHO FOUGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR PEOPLE!
